<div class="bop-text"><s>Bad/Fire</s> Undead/Fire {{thingamabob|Deception Ounce|E=Q11510}}.
our Trotskyist representation isn't {{thingamabob|Flame Lion|E=Q11668}}. it has to be the creature with {{thingamabob|Deceive}} in its English name, come on.
unlike normal {{thingamabob|Deception Ounce}} it is arrogant as hell and constantly trying to look cool; it can be stealthy sometimes but when it jumps out to fight it is super boastful. it can roar, it can brazenly breathe fire as a taunt.
this is a very "Team Rocket duo" Pokémon. I could also very much visualize that one firebreather trainer from gen 1 having it.

I think this Pokémon is a little bit everywhere, just this rare spawn on approximately half of routes to gently push you to know it's there and that it's popular in its region. Has a little bit of a {{thingamabob|Ki Jackal|E=Q11448}} status.
But I like the idea of a dynamic where although everybody knows about it the other trainers don't even actually use it because ostensibly it's too mischievous or annoying. Only a really exceptional trainer can actually tame it. It's like {{thingamabob|main boy's}} {{thingamabob|Soar Lizard|E=Q11006}}, except it was always like that from the beginning.

awgod what if it has a {{thingamabob|Big Truant|E=Q11289}}-style ability where it's stronger half the time and has a very annoying drawback half the time. one turn it's guaranteed to go first, always treated as having maximum Speed and all moves having Quick Attack priority. the other turn it's truant, and all of that is still true but it acts exactly like an outsider Pokémon.

<div class="bop-text">instead of {{censor|██████}}, it's RECKOWASU. wreck + <i>kowasu</i>, both words mean almost the same thing just like with {{thingamabob|Darkness Darkness|E=Q11491}}
english name [...] {{thingamabob|Wrecker Ounce}}

<div class="bop-text">{{thingamabob|Wrecker Ounce}} just blocks routes sometimes like {{thingamabob|Road Bear|E=Q11143}} or {{thingamabob|False Tree|E=Q11185}}, just because it can.
this is an actual move it has. it just has a move called Roadblock or something. it can only use this move when it is either truant, asleep, or frozen, but when it uses it, every attack goes around it for that turn <em>and</em> it recovers some finite amount of health. this would be a super annoying move if it was easy to use, but thankfully it's not.
I guess you can use Rest or get another Pokémon to inflict Sleep in a double battle but either way the opponent still has about one turn to prevent you from getting a free Roadblock by trying to Burn or Paralyze the Pokémon or such. and the Pokémon that obstinately sits around deflecting attacks isn't the Pokémon that will be crushing the other trainer's whole team.
